The Truth about the Illuminati

Menu

This was definitely a proud moment for me, even though I could not be there in person. The Secret School of Wisdom: The Authentic Rituals and Doctrines of the Illuminati by yours truly and edited by Josef Wäges, Reinhard Markner, and Jeva Singh-Anand is gaining momentum internationally. For those of your who are visiting this…

These last few months have been so hectic, it’s hard to believe that time has flown as quickly as it has. First, I want to reassure those of you who have ordered The Secret School of Wisdom, that the book will be released in January, as planned. If by some happenstance I really don’t want…

Here’s the official statement from our publisher, Lewis Masonic: This book is going to be delayed for a short time (until January 2015) in order to accommodate a newly discovered handwritten document by Adam Weishaupt, the founder of the Order, designed to give guidance for his collaborators as to how to instruct subordinate Illuminati. ###…

A few days ago, my project partner on The Secret School of Wisdom Josef Wages was interviewed on The Electric Pyramid podcast. He discussed the origins of the Illuminati, their goals, rise to power, and downfall — as well as their connection to Freemasonry.

I won’t lie. The publisher of The Secret School of Wisdom — The Authentic Rituals and Doctrines of the Illuminati, Lewis Masonic, has just released the video trailers for the book. They’re absolutely wonderful, and I’m incredibly excited. It’s an indescribable feeling to see two years of hard work finally materializing.

This passage is excerpted from the Address to the Scottish Knights (Illuminati Dirigens degree).

The full degree can be found in The Secret School of Wisdom: The…

Last week, I was interviewed by Joseph Thiebes for the podcast Speech in the Silence, which focuses on Thelema, Aleister Crowley, and Ordo Templi Orientis while also touching upon the subjects of magick, yoga, and initiation. While the similarities between the Bavarian Illuminati and the O.T.O. are only cosmetic, there is a strong interest in…

More apologies for the infrequent posts. There simply hasn’t been any time to dedicate to this blog. But I do have an important announcement. The translation of the complete ritual of the Illuminati is being published by Lewis Masonic, and it’s now available for pre-ordering. It’s due for publication October 31, 2014 under the title…

I apologize for the fact that this blog has not been updated in quite a while. Marker, Wages, and I have been feverishly working on completing the translation of Ritual & Doctrine of the Illuminati, and this has been the main focus of my activities for the last few weeks. The good news is that the…

By Josef Waeges, with introductory comments by Jeva Singh-Anand It is a general misconception that the Illuminati degree structure and ritual were fully developed when it was launched in 1776. Actually, the structure continuously evolved over the course of its brief lifespan and as Knigge recounted in Philo’s Reply, many degrees had not even been…

On Monday, December 9, Josef Wäges and I were interviewed by Henrick Palmgren of Red Ice Creations Radio. We were invited to speak about our current collaborative project, the first English translation of Ritual & Doctrine of the Illuminati. The program is an Internet talk radio show whose guests talk about things like alternative currencies,…

Josef Waeges and I are being interviewed by Red Ice Creations Radio tonight to speak about the actual Illuminati and their Rituals. The interview is scheduled to go online tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.
